One poor debate performance by POTUS has led to this? So, if Pres. Biden steps down and Kamala Harris (or whoever the DNC convention selects) loses the Nov 2024 election (WH, HoR, and/or Senate), who will the DNC blame? Arm the circular firing squad. Regardless of Pres. Biden's age or health, his opponent is elderly, forgetful, and mangles his syntax as well, and his policies will not help working Americans.

An abstract regarding the 1944 DNC Convention:

"Despite the obvious physical decline in President Roosevelt's appearance, as well as rumors of secret health problems, FDR's fourth nomination as president was largely unchallenged. Roosevelt delivered his acceptance speech remotely, from a Pacific Coast naval base.

1944 was the last time a major party presidential candidate accepted a nomination remotely until Joe Biden accepted his nomination in 2020 from his home town of Wilmington, DE due to the COVID-19 pandemic."

Thank you for posting this. USLE and the USIC cannot interrogate a corpse, so now they have to piece all this together through Thomas Matthew Crooks' computer history, friends, family, and diaries.

And we can only wonder how many more of these Travis Bickles are out there.

This is shocking news, so I had better sit down.

As somebody once said: "Anything that Trump touches, dies."

The research paper linked below may be helpful.

Excerpt:

"Islamic State is a vicious opponent of Hamas and both groups have repeatedly spoken out against each other. Al-Qaeda, IS's global jihadist rival, has a distinct position vis--vis both Hamas and IS too, thus further complicating the picture."

"Caucasian" didn't fit within the character limits allowed for the headline.

And President Joe Biden has an in-grown toenail! Put him on the Injured Reserve List! POTUS Woodrow Wilson attended the 1919 Treaty of Versailles conference stricken with COVID (AKA the Spanish Flu). This illness affected him, but he nevertheless attended and did the best he could. #45 conducted his criminal probation hearing in NYC via VTC.

Doc Sarvis: You are most welcome; I thought you might appreciate that. History offers beneficial lessons if only we pay attention.

Thank you Lamplighter for the further elucidation. Without sounding judgmental, some people should just never become parents. Some parents in middle America were recently prosecuted after an unsecured firearms accident led to a child fatality. While I was away on missions I would call long distance to my extremely competent cat-sitter every 48 hours to make sure my kitty was fine.

Absolutely hideous; thank you for posting.

Elsewhere in the US, another example of sterling parenting. A morbidly obese woman sat on her 10-year-old foster child who would later die of catastrophic internal injuries.

Presidents Abraham Lincoln and FDR went through terrible times, but both stayed the course and were victorious in the end (both sadly dying while in office). Both of their America's suffered appalling casualties (the Civil War and WWII). Pres Lincoln had two VPOTUS and won the 1864 election against popular Union General George Brinton McClellan, who wanted to stop the war against the CSA. FDR had three VPOTUS and the American people re-elected him three times. Is President Biden in a worse situation than FDR or Pres. Lincoln?

USEUCOM elevated it's CI/OPSEC posture against Russian sabotage, a white conservative almost kills an ex-POTUS, a white supremacist was recently arrested for plotting a terrorist attack in NJ, and a Grand Jury in EDNY indicted a white supremacist for planning a mass casualty attack in NYC (see my blog entry).

I wonder if anybody at the GOP convention is publicly condemning these plots?

Good Afternoon Doc Sarvis: As an endnote and more personal than analytical, Mr. Schiff should have spoken to POTUS privately, not in the public arena. Now he has given the GOP a free bullet for their TV ads. Mr. Biden's initial error was sharing a debate stage with #45, giving validation to a twice impeached convicted felon who on 06 Jan 2021 allegedly tried to subvert the results of the 2020 elections. #45 was impeached of that charge by Congress but acquitted by the Senate, so #45 is technically innocent of insurrection, so far.

Historical Perspective:

During WWII, Marshal Carl Mannerheim of Finland was fighting a desperate war against the USSR. Nazi Germany offered to help and both nations formed a 'co-belligerency' against Moscow. But Marshal Mannerheim was clever enough not to validate Der Fuhrer with an official state visit on the world public stage, so he arranged for a secret meeting in Imatra, a small Finnish city. The Marshal thereby deprived Der Fuhrer of a propaganda bullet.

Adam Schiff forgot that the American people will be voting for a platform. Mr. Biden's Cabinet is competent; they have prevented WWIII with Russia and de-escalated a wider Israel-Iran war. No matter who is on the Democratic ticket, the policies of funding Social Security, SNAP, Medicare, Medicaid, protecting a woman's reproductive rights, and containing Putin without WWIII is what Americans will be voting for.

From a wheelchair, FDR and his Cabinet saved the US from the Great Depression, enacted Social Security, and led the Allied Powers over Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan in WWII.

And in 2018 #45 personally spoke with Taiwan's President when he was in the WH, angering Xi in Beijing. In Mandarin, "Fuong-Kwong" means "crazy" which is what the Taipei leadership must be thinking of the ex-Dotard-in-Chief.

Wow. 400 meters (1,300ft) is danger-close for a missile; I wonder what the payload and guidance system was.

Every night before going to sleep, Mr. Putin reads his copy of Dale Carnegie's "How to Win Friends and Influence People."

Thank you for posting. A couple refused to be vaccinated because of those experiments and died from COVID. I wonder how many others uselessly died as well because of the fear the USG put into their heads.

Elon Musk has a transgender child who wants nothing to do with him. And because of AB1955, he says he wants to move his Star Trek operations to Texas? Let me hold the door for him. Elon Musk smells money. The federal govt injected billions of dollars into Texas for infrastructure and high tech investment. Perhaps that's the true reason this goniff wants to re-locate his business to the Lone Star State. See sources below.

In the link below, you will see how many people attended Boris Johnson's RNC speech whom the UK Mirror newspaper described as a "disgraced ex-Prime Minister".

Thank you, RSTYBEACH11. Sadly, this theory is just "reading the tea leaves." Let the situation develop so we can see what covenant these two "strange bedfellows" agree to before November.

Thank you, Corky, I appreciate that.

20 or so years ago #45 said the second Gulf War (that "W" blundered the US into) was "a disaster and a catastrophe." DJT presciently described 2024 America.

Vladimir Putin doesn't want RFK Jr (or anyone else) to siphon any crucial voters away from his protege come this November. So #45 may offer RFK Jr a Cabinet position (HHS, USAG) or an Ambassadorship (his grandfather was the US Ambassador to the Court of St James and his niece was US Ambassador to Japan) to consolidate an anti-Biden platform.

Did #45 acknowledge that RFK Jr's father was also a victim of political violence in 1968?

Perfect timing Michelin! Is this Michelin guide supposed to entice out-of-state gourmands to visit The Lone Star State? Texas has become an epicenter of mass shootings in the US.

"In an average year, 4,122 people die and 7,726 are wounded by guns in Texas. Texas has the 29th highest rate of gun violence in the US."

By contrast, in 2021 the entire country of Canada (41,454,393 people) suffered 788 homicides.

Years ago I knew somebody who was an ex-Scientologist (Dianetics). This person confided me to that many adherents who had spent years and money "getting clear" and moving up the Dianetics ladder realized too late what a waste it all was. This person informed me since they invested so much time and money in the Church of Scientology, they'd rather be on top of a phony pyramid than at the bottom of a real swamp. They couldn't face the reality that they spent a lifetime wasting thousands and thousands of dollars, while alienating their family and friends. This reminded me of Cipher from "The Matrix." Fortunately this person was able to get de-programmed and leave Scientology, restoring normal friends, family, and finances to his life. Sadly, advising someone that they belong to a cult is a waste of time.
